Picture this: a resort nestled among Quebec’s rugged mountains and the glistening St. Lawrence River — a place where adventure and comfort come together for an unforgettable family getaway. Club Med Québec Charlevoix, which opened its doors in 2022 as part of Club Med’s North American comeback, offers a straightforward yet engaging all-inclusive experience for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
For those eager to hit the slopes, the resort provides ski-in/ski-out access along with group lessons available for children starting at age four. In the words of Armelle De la Porte des Vaux, Vice President of Marketing, Club Med North America and the Caribbean, “We are committed to delivering a seamless, all-inclusive experience for every type of traveler.” This means that every guest can enjoy lift tickets, ski and snowboard lessons, and the convenience of having everything arranged, leaving no room for hassle.
“At Club Med Québec Charlevoix, we are committed to delivering a seamless, all-inclusive experience for every type of traveler — whether families, couples, or solo adventurers,” De la Porte des Vaux says. “Guests can savor local delicacies paired with French savoir-faire, from Quebecois-inspired dishes to fine dining. Our renowned Children’s Clubs and family-focused programming ensure that families of all ages feel welcome, while our ski package includes lift tickets, ski-in/ski-out access, and group ski and snowboard lessons for all skill levels starting from age 4, allowing everyone to make the most of the slopes stress-free.”
One of the standout features is the daily Kids Club. With a full schedule of creative projects, outdoor games, and engaging activities, my two daughters (aged seven and nine) were completely absorbed in the fun. They were so engaged that leaving each day was hardly an option for them. The resort’s family-focused programming extends to every detail — from the Kids Club to the special dining experiences designed to cater to all ages. Guests can savor local delicacies paired with French savoir-faire, enjoying everything from casual buffets to fine dining options inspired by Quebecois traditions and international flavors.
When it comes to wellness, Club Med Québec Charlevoix truly caters to those who seek balance. On days when skiing isn’t on the agenda, the well-equipped fitness center and calming yoga classes provide the perfect alternative. The resort’s Wellness Fusion program offers more than 20 sports and activities, including invigorating yoga flows led by world-renowned instructor and Yoga Ambassador Jonah Kest. As part of the program, plant-based culinary creations by Chef Chloe Coscarelli add an extra touch of healthful indulgence to your stay. It’s all about blending active pursuits with moments of relaxation.
The cultural experiences on offer are another highlight. Guests can immerse themselves in local heritage through activities such as maple syrup making and wine and beer tastings. These experiences are designed to give you a genuine taste of the region while adding an enriching dimension to your vacation. This comprehensive approach truly leaves no stone unturned when it comes to creating a well-rounded stay.
Our accommodations did not disappoint either. We stayed in a spacious suite that perfectly balanced comfort and practicality. The suite featured two well-appointed bedrooms — including a dedicated kids’ room with two twin beds — a generous living area, and large windows that offered impressive views of the slopes. The layout was ideal for families, providing plenty of space to relax after a busy day of skiing, cultural workshops, or exploring the resort’s daily activities.
Adding to the sense of legacy, Carolyne Doyon, President and CEO, highlights that Club Med Québec Charlevoix “reflects our 75 years of pioneering all-inclusive experiences and redefining mountain vacations.” This nod to a long history — dating back to the first ski resort in Switzerland in 1957 and later expansions into Japan and China — underscores the expertise behind the resort’s model and its commitment to offering a seamless, year-round mountain experience here in Canada. “After successfully bringing our world-renowned mountain resort model from the Alps to Japan and China, we are proud to offer North America — and Canada in particular — our signature and seamless year-round mountain experience.”
Nestled in the mountains, Club Med Québec Charlevoix is an eco-conscious retreat offering an unparalleled year-round experience. “Guests enjoy world-class skiing during the winter months and vibrant summer adventures, all set against the stunning backdrop of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding mountains,” Doyon continues. “This resort has become a favorite destination for travelers seeking both winter thrills and summer exploration since its opening. As the North American ski market continues to grow, Club Med Québec Charlevoix stands out as the perfect getaway for those looking to embrace a four-season getaway.”
So whether you’re mastering your first ski turn, exploring engaging Kids Club activities, or enjoying a balanced mix of wellness and cultural experiences, Club Med Québec Charlevoix offers an experience that is as comprehensive as it is enjoyable. With a mix of tasty cuisine, spacious accommodations, and thoughtfully curated activities, you’re sure to leave with plenty of great stories and a smile that lasts well beyond your stay.
